Russia and Ukraine

The result is while Soviet tank production had greatly surpassed German tank production by early 1943, the balance of strength actually on the battlefield did not begin to show it until we’ll after summer of 1943.

Well, there were enough to reject Hitler's fanatical insistence on taking a destroyed city. That helped.

So, again, and do try to pay attention this time, explain to us how this paradigm of numbers winning the war in Ukraine can happen when the top two Russian tank factories are stilled by sanctions? Take your time and think this through. Quit the red-herring thing.

In addition to Uralvagonzavod, one of the largest tank manufacturers in the world with reportedly 30,000 employees last year, the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant has also run out of foreign-made parts.

“The specified companies specialize in the manufacturing and repair of tanks, as well as other armored equipment needed by the Russian Federation armed forces,” the General Staff wrote in its Facebook post.

So, without large numbers of tanks and trained troops to overwhelm Ukraine, how would you apply the Soviet "operational art" from WWII to the modern circumstances? Please don't dissimulate any more. Answer a direct question directly. How can Russia flood Ukraine with numbers that they simply don't have? Because that's what they did in WWII against Germany.

Oh, remember: there's no Lend-Leases available nowadays either.
